As many people may know, the 3rd of October is a special day in Germany. This public holiday celebrates the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. What some people may not know is that this day also celebrates another type of togetherness in Germany...

As well as being Tag der Deutschen Einheit (literal translation: Day of German Unity), 3rd of October is also Tag der offenen Moschee (Day of the Open Mosque). Although they welcome visitors all year round, this day sees mosques around Germany host various talks, readings, exhibitions and guided tours in a bid to promote togetherness in the German community.

​First set up in 1997, the event has gone on to attract large numbers each year. Organisers intentionally chose to hold the event on Tag der Deutschen Einheit in order to highlight its goal of promoting understanding between religions  and to emphasise solidarity between all members of German society.

I had no idea that this was a huge day for the Germans. I am not well-educated when it comes to events and history. I am glad that I was able to look into it. I have a friend from Germany who is coming over, and I was about to miss it. I am seriously glad that I had the time to do this, believe me, it was not that easy to get him to come over for a vacation.
